The trade deal known as Fast Track was not KILLED, the vote was deferred (mentioned in the article, sadly title is click baited). Deferment of the Fast Track vote signals nothing good.

manufacturing small-scale movements and funding oppositions that match U.S. interests sure. HOWEVER, ISIS doesn't fit ANY previous U.S. backed coup or the like.
